President Donald Trump's name will reportedly be printed on the tens of millions of stimulus checks being mailed out to Americans in the coming days, an unprecedented move that is being perceived by some as politically motivated.
Senior officials at the Internal Revenue Service told The Washington Post on Tuesday that the decision was finalized late Monday. According to The Post, payments being mailed out to over 70 million Americans in the coming days will say "President Donald J. Trump" on the left side of the check, below a line that reads, "Economic Impact Payment."
